About this listen

 Against the backdrop of Colombian narco-soccer, Medellín’s Atlético Nacional qualified for the 1994 World Cup in the United States. Having lost only one of the twenty-six games they played in the lead-up to the World Cup, the team was helping Colombian fans forget the perils they faced during the tumultuous time following Pablo Escobar’s death. But after being eliminated during the group stage, soccer star Andrés Escobar was shot to death upon his return to Medellín. We’re back with another episode on a celebrity who was killed for the own goal he scored in one of the last games of his life.Sources: https://www.theringer.com/2022/10/12/sports/22-goals-andres-escobar-1994-world-cup-usa-colombia https://colombiaone.com/2023/10/05/most-practiced-sports-colombia/ https://pantheon.world/profile/occupation/soccer-player/country/colombia https://themobmuseum.org/blog/colombian-drug-lord-pablo-escobar-killed-30-years-ago-this-month/ https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/sports/soccer/everything-to-know-about-own-goals-in-soccer/3074117/ https://thesefootballtimes.co/2017/03/17/diego-maradona-at-world-cup-1994-the-fallen-angel/ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/diego-maradona-soccer-player-urine-sample-rcna122523 https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/37372658/no-2-diego-maradona https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?item=114720 https://www.eurosport.com/football/carlos-sanchez_prs119850/person.shtml https://www.wfaa.com/article/sports/soccer/world-cup/andres-escobar-world-cup-own-goal-muder-united-states-match-1994/287-0e8bc027-237e-45df-a9a9-85906f6c060fhttps://www.through-the-turnstiles.com/political-football/colombian-narco-football https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/andres-escobar-tragic-own-goal-colombia-world-cup-murder/bltcc01b39beb5c5e61 https://thebogotapost.com/narclord-and-prime-suspect-of-killing-footballer-andres-escobar-caught/26728/ https://colombiareports.com/amp/colombia-businessman-linking-uribe-to-death-squad-released-from-jail-despite-admitting-to-drug-trafficking/ https://soccer365.net/coaches/52275/ https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/mar/25/world-cup-moments-andres-escobar-death https://colombiaone.com/2024/12/15/pablo-escobar-medellin/
